The city of Jerusalem was pretty incredible... just seeing the city puts my beliefs in the Word of God into a deeper perspective... walking the narrow streets of the Old City... and how hilly it is... seeing the Western Wall along with the Tunnels of the Western Wall were outstanding to see. The streets truly were so crowded since it was the western Easter weekend.... actually walking the Via Dolorosa... crowding through the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and hearing the Greek Orthodox priest cussing out the crowds...
wow.... funny how the things Jesus taught about are still happening even today with those that are suppose to be leaders even in such a tourist place... Here's our "cussing priest" as he appears to be having a "bad day at the office"...
even the walk from the Old City itself to the Garden of Gethsemane just re-enforced the ruggedness of the terrain that Jesus dealt with... we all found our legs to be tired at the end of the day of walking all the hills we're just not use to treading up and down... even these olive trees... believed to be 3,000 years old... are a living testament to the kind of places Jesus departed to ... to pray!
